12th suspect wanted in fight at Santa Rosa park arrested

A 12th suspect wanted in connection with a June 16 melee at Santa Rosa's Youth Community Park turned himself into law enforcement authorities Thursday night, police said.

Rohnert Park rapper Robert Flett, 26, walked into the Rohnert Park Public Safety Department and was turned over to Santa Rosa police officers and taken to the Sonoma County Jail, authorities said.

Flett was being held Friday on $150,000 bail after his arrest for suspected felony assault with a deadly weapon, assault likely to produce great bodily injury, fighting in public, violation of probation, and numerous enhancements for suspected gang involvement and other aggravating circumstances, jail personnel said.

Only one more suspect - Santa Rosa resident Rudy Cuevas-Vigil, 20 - is known to be outstanding in connection with the fight that left a 40-year-old man and his adult daughter badly injured, police said.

The fight erupted at the end of a low-rider car show, apparently because of ill feelings between at least some of the suspects and the male victims, stemming from history involving a third party, police Sgt. Ray Navarro, who oversees gang enforcement and investigations for the Santa Rosa Police Department.

Additional interaction at the park sparked an attack on the man and then his daughter, apparently when she tried to intervene, Navarro said.
